Narragansett Town Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, switchin’ to the old-school numbers. Same story, different units. This stretch of days for Narragansett Town Beach is about as flat as a pancake. There’s no real swell on the menu, and the conditions just aren’t puttin’ together a solid session anywhere.

Right out the gate, Thursday the 27th has tiny 1 ft waves from the southeast with a cross-onshore breeze – nothin’ to even paddle for. Friday the 28th stays small, only 2 ft from the south, but the afternoon gets a cross-offshore wind and clean surface. Still too small to bother. Saturday the 29th morning is clean with an offshore wind, but again only 2 ft waves. It’s pretty, but tiny.

This whole pattern just keeps goin’. Sunday the 30th drops to 1 ft to 2 ft with chop. The water temp is around 70°, right about normal for this time of year. Combined swell energy is weak, in the teens to low 30s.

Monday the 31st through Wednesday the 2nd of September stays tiny – waves from 1 ft to 2 ft, mostly short period under 7 seconds. There’s some clean windows with offshore wind on Monday morning and afternoon, but with so little swell, it’s a no-go.

Thursday the 3rd gives us a rare glassy, dead-calm morning with 2 ft from the south and a 6-second period. Clean as can be, but still just a longboard cruiser. Friday the 4th afternoon is glassy again with 1 ft waves from the southeast at 8 seconds – clean, but tiny.

Saturday the 5th sees a bump to 2 ft with a moderate cross-shore in the morning, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore. Still weak overall. Sunday the 6th and the rest of the first week of September are quiet, with waves barely hittin’ 1 ft. Energy stays under 21.

Then Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th show a little spike: 2 ft from the south-southwest on Wednesday morning, period 7 seconds, energy up to 60 – moderate. But Thursday gets ugly with fresh cross-shore wind at 19 mph, turnin’ the surface lumpy. Not worth it.

The last couple days, Friday the 11th of September, drop back to tiny 0.6 ft to 1 ft. There’s a clean offshore wind in the morning, but it’s basically flat.

So, for the full 16 days, it’s a bust. For a spot that usually holds a little more shape, this is an off stretch. The only real chance to get wet would be Thursday the 3rd morning when it’s glassy, or Saturday the 5th afternoon with a clean look and a tiny south swell. But there’s no juice. Like I said, keep the board handy – this kind of flat spell doesn’t last forever around here.

Rusty.
